Dealing with the dual concerns of sun protection and signs of aging in Mauritius's climate can be challenging. This innovative sun serum offers a solution by combining robust, broad-spectrum UV defense with the powerful nourishing benefits of traditional Korean Ginseng, leaving your skin hydrated, protected, and glowing without a heavy feel or white cast.

If you're looking for a sunscreen that feels more like a luxurious skincare step than a chore, this is for you. Its lightweight, serum-like texture absorbs quickly, providing deep hydration and a dewy finish without stickiness, making it ideal for daily wear in our tropical humidity.

• Texture: Lightweight, moisturizing serum-gel.
• Finish: Dewy and radiant, with no white cast.
• Best For: Normal, Combination, and Dry skin types. Also suitable for those concerned with fine lines, dullness, and preventing sun-induced hyperpigmentation.
• Key Benefits: High UV protection, deep hydration, anti-aging properties, and a brightened complexion.

For your morning routine:

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a generous amount (see "How to Use" for the two-finger rule) to your face and neck as the final step of your skincare.
3. Makeup (Optional): Proceed with makeup if desired.

Note: Already own a similar sunscreen? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

This product is the essential final step of your morning skincare routine to protect your skin and the results of your other products.

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner/Serum (Optional) → 3) Ginseng Moist Sun Serum.
• Optional: For very dry skin, you can apply a light moisturizer before the sun serum. For most skin types in Mauritius, its hydrating formula is sufficient on its own.
• Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and wait 1-2 minutes after applying this sun serum before starting makeup to ensure a smooth, non-pilling finish.

This product is for daytime use only. Your evening routine should focus on cleansing it off thoroughly and repairing your skin.

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps): 1) Double-Cleanse (Oil Cleanser to melt the sunscreen, followed by a Water-Based Cleanser) → 2) Targeted Serum (e.g., for brightening or repair) → 3) Moisturiser.
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM Only:

• Amount: Use the "two-finger rule." Squeeze the product onto your index and middle fingers from base to tip. This is the expert-recommended amount for the face and neck to achieve the labeled SPF protection.
• Apply to: Face, neck, and any other sun-exposed areas like ears and chest.
• Method: Apply gently and spread evenly. Pat lightly to aid absorption. Apply at least 15-20 minutes before sun exposure.
• Frequency: Every single morning, as the last step of your skincare routine. Reapply every 2-3 hours if you are outdoors, sweating, or swimming.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? This sun serum provides enough moisture for many to skip a separate AM moisturizer. You can apply a light dusting of translucent powder over your T-zone after application.
• Very dry/AC environment? Layer this over your favorite lightweight moisturizer to lock in extra hydration.
• Under makeup? Its serum texture creates a beautiful, glowy base. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to set completely before applying foundation to prevent pilling.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Always reapply sunscreen for effective protection.

• Sunscreen: Apply this product every single morning as the last step of your skincare routine, regardless of other products used.
• Mauritius Note: Sun protection is non-negotiable in our climate, even on cloudy days or if you are indoors near windows. UV rays are the primary cause of premature aging and hyperpigmentation.
• Safety: Consistent daily use of SPF 50+ is the best way to protect the results from your other skincare investments (like brightening serums or retinoids).

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply hydrated and has a visible, healthy glow. There is no white cast. The serum texture absorbs beautifully without a greasy feeling.
• 2–4 Weeks: With daily use, skin appears more consistently hydrated and plump. The 2% Niacinamide begins to help regulate oil-water balance.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The nourishing effects of 30% Ginseng extract contribute to improved skin health and vitality. The Niacinamide helps to brighten the overall complexion and can contribute to the fading of new dark spots (PIH), provided you are using it consistently.

• Why use a tested sunscreen, not DIY mixes? Sun protection is a science. This product has been lab-tested to confirm its SPF 50+ and PA++++ rating. DIY concoctions with oils or other ingredients offer no reliable or measurable protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, leaving your skin vulnerable to burns, premature aging, and skin cancer.

• Works Well With: This sun serum is formulated to be compatible with most skincare ingredients. It layers well over Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and other hydrating serums. The 2% Niacinamide concentration is gentle and unlikely to cause conflicts.
• Use Carefully With: If you have an extensive routine, ensure each layer is mostly absorbed before applying the next to avoid pilling. Its hydrating nature means you may need to reduce or skip your regular morning moisturizer.
• Avoid On: Do not apply on broken or irritated skin.

• Excellent For: Normal, Combination, Dry, and Mature skin.
• Good For: Dehydrated skin, as it provides significant moisture.
• Use with Insight: Oily skin types may find the dewy finish too glowy for their preference, especially in high humidity. However, many with oily skin successfully use it as their all-in-one moisturizer and sunscreen step. A light setting powder can manage shine.

• Primary: UV Protection (preventing sunburn and sun damage).
• Secondary: Preventing Photoaging (fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness caused by the sun), Dehydration, and Dullness.
• Supportive: Helps prevent and fade hyperpigmentation (like sun spots and post-acne marks) by blocking their primary trigger (UV rays) and incorporating 2% Niacinamide.

• UV Filters: Chemical Filters (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Polysilicone-15, Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate). This combination provides stable, broad-spectrum protection.
• Protection Standard: SPF 50+ and PA++++.
  • SPF Test Results (Brand test): SPF 55.8 ± 7.8 (Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences).
  • PA Test Results (Brand test): UVA PF 20.9 ± 3.8 P++++ (Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences).
• White Cast & Finish: None. Provides a moisturizing, dewy glow.
• Water Resistance: No claim of water or sweat resistance is made by the brand. Reapplication is necessary after swimming or heavy sweating.
• Amount & Reapplication: Use the two-finger rule for the face and neck. Reapply at least every 2-3 hours of sun exposure.

Key Actives Explained:

• Ginseng Extract (30%): A prized ingredient in traditional Korean medicine (Hanbang). It is rich in antioxidants called saponins, which help to nourish the skin, improve circulation for a healthy glow, and protect against environmental damage that can lead to premature aging. (Ingredient rationale)
• Niacinamide (2%): A form of Vitamin B3 that is a multi-tasking superstar. At this gentle concentration, it helps to brighten the skin tone, improve the appearance of pores, strengthen the skin barrier, and regulate sebum (oil) production. (Ingredient rationale)
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a soothing and skin-restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and helps to improve skin elasticity and smoothness. (Ingredient rationale)

Full INCI List:

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product does not contain synthetic fragrances. It does contain some natural plant oils (like Clary Oil and Olive Oil) which may impart a very subtle, natural scent.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. Based on the INCI list, potential botanical allergens for highly sensitive individuals could include components from the essential oils present, though they are in low concentrations.

Who Should Use This: Ideal for individuals looking for a comfortable, hydrating daily sunscreen with anti-aging benefits. Suitable for sensitive skin, but a patch test is always recommended.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the product to a small, discreet area of skin, such as your inner arm or behind your ear.
2. Wait for 24 hours. Do not wash the area during this time.
3. After 24 hours, check for any signs of redness, itching, burning, or irritation. If any reaction occurs, discontinue use.
4. If no reaction is observed, it is likely safe to apply to your face.

Teens: This product is safe for teenagers, especially as a cosmetically elegant option to encourage daily sun protection habits.

• Texture: A very lightweight, watery serum-lotion that spreads effortlessly.
• Finish: Leaves a dewy, moisturized, and radiant finish on the skin. It is not matte.
• Scent: Essentially scentless, with a very faint, clean, natural aroma from its ingredients.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but estimated to be in the neutral range of 6.0 - 7.0, typical for sunscreen emulsions.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, which may be a trigger for some individuals prone to fungal acne. Individual responses vary, so patch testing is advised.

• Pilling (rolling into little balls): This can happen if you apply too much product or don't wait long enough before applying makeup. Fix: Use a slightly smaller amount and wait a full 1-2 minutes for the serum to set before your next step.
• Looks too shiny: The dewy finish can look extra glowy on oily skin types. Fix: Use this as your sole morning moisturizer and apply a light dusting of translucent powder (like the Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder) over your T-zone.
• Mild tingling upon application: Some users with very sensitive skin report a slight, brief tingling sensation, possibly due to the Niacinamide or the active nature of the Ginseng. Fix: This usually subsides. Ensure your skin barrier is healthy and not compromised before application. If it persists or is accompanied by redness, discontinue use.

• Humid Summers: Perfect. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture feels comfortable and breathable in high humidity, avoiding the heavy, suffocating feel of thicker sunscreens. Most skin types can use this as their only moisturizer in the morning.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioning: Excellent. It provides a welcome boost of hydration to combat the drying effects of indoor AC or the slightly less humid winter air. Drier skin types may want to layer a light hydrating gel or lotion underneath for extra comfort.

Here is aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. (Note: Individual experiences vary.)

"I LOVE this lightweight sunscreen! It just melts into my skin, zero white cast and leaves my skin hydrated... I've definitely seen an improvement in my overall skin appearance in the time I've been using it."

— YesStyle review (2024-06)

"I have combination skin with a quite oily t-zone. Note this will not control oil or make you matte... So you will have glowy shiny glass skin with this. BUT it is definitely amazing on the niacinamide side. I have had several hormonal breakouts while using this and almost all my marks have been fading evenly."

— Seoul of Tokyo customer review (2024-11)

Fair Caveat: "This immediately makes my face red and irritated. It has such a nice finish that I keep trying it but sadly, nope it doesn't work for me."

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic Korean beauty, curated with care and integrity. We guarantee that every product is 100% genuine, sourced directly from brands and authorized distributors in South Korea. Our mission is to provide you with clear, honest information to help you make mindful choices for your skin's health and well-being.

Is this a chemical or physical sunscreen?
This is a chemical sunscreen. It uses modern organic UV filters that absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, which is then released from the skin.

Does it leave a white cast?
No, it is completely transparent and leaves no white cast on any skin tone, making it an excellent choice for melanin-rich skin.

Is this sunscreen good for oily skin?
It can be. Its lightweight, hydrating formula can replace a moisturizer for oily skin types. However, it provides a dewy, glowy finish. If you prefer a matte look, you might prefer a different sunscreen or use a setting powder on top.

Is it waterproof or sweat-proof?
The brand does not make any claims about water or sweat resistance. You should reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying for continued protection.
